In the final episode of our Deep Learning Indaba series, we speak with Vukosi Marivate, Chair of Data Science at the University of Pretoria and a co-organizer of the Indaba.
My conversation with Vukosi falls into two distinct parts, his PhD research in reinforcement learning, and his current research, which falls under the banner of data science with social impact. We discuss several advanced RL scenarios, along with several applications he is currently exploring in areas like public safety and energy.
